Saregama Launches 'Gulzar in Conversation with Tagore' Saregama launches ‘Gulzar in conversation with Tagore’ Gulzar, Shreya Ghoshal, Shaan and Shantanu Moitra come together to pay tribute to Rabindranath Tagore by taking it to the masses. Press Release: Mumbai, 18th October, 2016: ‘Gulzar in conversation with Tagore’, a passion project led by Gulzar which has been 5 years in the making, was launched this evening by Saregama India, the country’s leading end- to-end entertainment service provider. The album also features Shantanu Moitra, Shreya Ghoshal and Shaan. Gulzar in conversation with Tagore consists of 7 songs which bring out a different side of Tagore, who is primarily known for Rabindra Sangeet. This album was created in an endeavour to take Tagore’s work out of Bengal and share it with the country. The music features a variety of live instruments like flute, tabla, veena, piano and more. Vikram Mehra, Managing director of Saregama India Ltd says “This beautiful journey wouldn’t have been possible without the vision and passion of Gulzar Sahab. It’s an honour for us to be a part of this masterpiece created by him, Shantanu, Shreya and Shaan”. Gulzar, the renowned mastermind behind this project said, “Working on this album has been an incredible journey, especially with Shreya, Shaan and Shantanu. It's important that every Indian knows Tagore's works and that's what the four of us had in mind while working on this album. It has been my earnest desire that Tagore should be known as a household name across India.” Shantanu Moitra, who composed fresh tunes for this album says, “I understood Tagore, thanks to Gulzar. This album is an expression of that understanding.” Shreya Ghoshal, who sang on this album says, “To be a part of this project from its conception to release is beyond words for me to express, especially since we are bringing Tagore to the new generation. He has been a part of my life in so many ways since childhood, but to understand him through the interpretation of Gulzar sahab opened my perspective on the poetry, art and music that he created for our country to cherish. We want the whole world to enjoy the magic of Tagore.” “Although I can proudly say that I have recorded over 40 Tagore songs, I must admit, I discovered the magic of his poetries and music rather late in my life. But in my formative years, the magic of Gulzar ji’s lyrics and films made an everlasting impression on me. To be a part of this ‘once-in-a-lifetime’ project where two of my all-time favourite icons come together, I feel incredibly lucky! I started my career with non-Bollywood music and with this project, it has come full circle.” said the versatile singer, Shaan, sharing is experience on this album. The event was attended by eminent personalities from the entertainment industry like Jaya Bachchan, Papon, Swanand Kirkire, Purbayan Chatterjee among others. The album will be available to download on www.saregama.com. Songs will also be available on Apple Music, Saavn, Wynk, Hungama Music, Eros and Gaana.

  • A Study of Kashmir As Portrayed Through Popular Indian Cinema
    The valley of desire : A study of Kashmir as portrayed through popular Indian cinema by Maliha Siddiqi M.A. (Mass communication), Jamia Millia Islamia, 2018 B.Sc., Kashmir University, 2016 Extended Essay Submitted in Partial Fulfillment of the Requirements for the Degree of Master of Arts in the School of Communication(Dual degree program in Global Communication) Faculty of communication, art and technology © Maliha Siddiqi 2020 SIMON FRASER UNIVERSITY Summer 2020 Copyright in this work rests with the author. Please ensure that any reproduction or re-use is done in accordance with the relevant national copyright legislation. Approval Name: Maliha Siddiqi Degree: Master of Arts Title: “The valley of desire”: A study of Kashmir as portrayed through popular Indian cinema Zoë Druick Senior Supervisor Professor Katherine Reilly Program director Associate Professor Date Defended/Approved: 31st August 2020 ii Abstract Indian-administered Kashmir has been a conflicted territory since 1947. This paper studies the representation of Kashmir and its civilian population in popular Hindi films. As Bollywood has an immensely dedicated audience, both in India as well as globally, the sensitive issues surrounding Kashmir make for extremely sought-after and therefore potentially influential content in films. I argue that these films reflect a sharp bias and a myopic approach towards showcasing the area and its civilian population. This paper employs the use of film analysis and critical discourse analysis to examine seven films — Mission Kashmir (2000), Yahaan (2005),Fanaa (2006), I am (2010), Lamhaa (2010), Haider (2014) and Hamid (2018) — to support the argument. The results show that all the films except Haider and Hamid misrepresent or underrepresent the realities of Kashmir.

(Marks: 0) Tianjin Shanghai Beijing Hangzhou In China, the 2nd edition of Belt and Road Forum (BRF - 2019) was officially held in Beijing with theme “Belt and Road Cooperation: Shaping a Brighter Shared Future”. In it, 37 heads-of-state and 159 countries had participated along with United Nations Secretary-General Antonio Guterres and International Monetary Chief (IMF) Christine Lagarde. The BRF is part of the Belt and Road Initiative (BRI). The aim of BRI is to reinvent the ancient Silk Road to connect Asia to Europe and Africa through massive investments in maritime, road and rail projects. The initiative offers to bring much-needed modern infrastructure to developing countries, but critics say it mainly favours Chinese companies while saddling nations with debt and causing environmental damage.
